STAT Table : Slant & Italic

I’m puzzled as to why the STAT Table has both Slant and Italic entries when I’m only using the Slant axis (slnt) in my .glyphs file. I noticed this inconsistency after a Font Bakery check flagged it.

com.google.fonts/check/italic_axis_in_stat_is_boolean

Check that the value of the 'ital' STAT axis is boolean (either 0 or 1), and elided for the Upright and not elided for the Italic, and that the Upright is linked to the Italic.
